I have, as I said, more rules than folders and some 130-odd folders. No problem with pointing multiple email client apps at a single IMAP server, sure, although sync times become an issue - my Gmail inbox is 7.3GB, for example. (I also have a few gig more of very old (1990s) mail offline that I want to put in there at some point as well.) But the rules-set is complex. Well, not complex, but big. I have moved messagebases around in Thunderbird before, no problem - after a few versions, it was even able to share one between Windows and Linux installs, a very handy feature indeed for me. But without having a single shared messagebase, gigs of it, I can't share my filtering rules and so on among different machines, can I? -- Liam Proven ?
